Reverse Engineering IC’s

A message I posted on the forum about the vulnerability of the programs store in a programmable device created a lot interest and e-mail. Many e-mails asked for more information on vendors who can read programs from devices with the security bits blown. I don’t want to encourage piracy so I don’t respond to these requests with more information. Recently a YouTube video of a presentation on Low-Cost Chip Microprobing was brought to my attention. It has some details on how chips are protected and how the protection is circumvented. The talk can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_MsQRpwRlw
